Life Empowered Moments

Often when I watch television, I see more than just the show that I am watching. Yes, I am being entertained, empowered, or challenged by what I am seeing. But there is so much more to that. By watching television, I am seeing the challenges and resolutions through various means. By watching the commercials, I am seeing the companies trying to increase profits. By watching news, I am seeing information about things that are deemed "important". It's amazing what television can teach you and also, how it can influence you.

However, the most important thing to note here is that it's just television. When I watch a home show in which an entire house was gutted and rebuilt in an hour... Well…It's just tv. When a man falls in love with a woman and they live happily ever after with no troubles…It's just tv. When a person is addicted to drugs during the first fifteen minutes of the show and they are now the executive of a top company by the end of the show, it's just tv. When a driver takes his/her's limited edition vehicle and jump the grand canyon, it's just tv.

So here's the life empowered moment for today! Don't think for a moment successes are quick and easy. Put time, energy, and focus into the things that you really want. Just because we make it look easy, doesn't mean that it is.
